Andaman Islands: Nature’s wonder in the Bay of Bengal

• Port Blair: This is the capital of the Andaman Islands. It is a great location to start your journey as its rich history blends the magnetism of colonial living with pristine natural beauty. One can explore the Cellular Jail, which represents India’s struggle for independence. Another fun experience in Port Blair is Aberdeen Bazaar’s colorful marketplaces. From Port Blair, which also happens to be the archipelago’s entry point, travellers can move on to the other islands.
• Havelock Island: A quick ferry ride from Port Blair will take you to Havelock Island, which is famous for its immaculate beaches and shining waters. The green waters and powdered white sands of Radhanagar Beach, which is frequently praised as one of the best beaches in Asia, is located here. Elephant Beach is a hot-spot for undersea enthusiasts, offering a feast of coral and aquatic life that can be discovered through snorkelling.
• Neil Island: Our next pit-stop is the charming Neil Island. Neil Island, or the “Vegetable Bowl” of the Andamans as it is fondly called, features bucolic agricultural landscapes set against azure waters. Other top attractions on the island include the Howrah Bridge, a naturally occurring rock formation, and the serene Laxmanpur Beach, which offers amazing sunset views.
• Baratang Island: Finally we come to the island of Mangrove Marvels and Limestone Caves – the Baratang Island. The trip through the thick mangrove forests is a revelation in itself, taking you to the awe-inspiring limestone caves and the intriguing limestone structures of Mud Volcano.

Lakshadweep: land of Coral Atolls and Green Lagoons

• Agatti Island: Once we exit the Andamans, our journey heads west to the coral atolls of Lakshadweep. The entry point for the Lakshadweep islands is Agatti Island, known for its blue lagoon and coral reefs. Scuba divers and snorkelers will find nirvana in the lagoon that surrounds Agatti, which provides a window into the colorful underwater world and marine life.
• Bangaram Atoll: This is an empty atoll that perfectly captures the spirit of a calm and quiet island getaway. The neighbouring coral reefs provide snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities and an amazing underwater display, while the white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters are perfect for strolls.
• Kavaratti Island: This is where we can experience the native customs and culture of the islands. It is also the capital of Lakshadweep. There are some amazing architectural monuments here, the Ujra Mosque and the lively bazaars are also a fun experience. Water sports enthusiasts can have a fun trip exploring the under-water marine treasures with kayaking, paddleboarding, and glass-bottom boat trips.
• Minicoy Island: This is the southernmost island in Lakshadweep. Minicoy is well-known for its imposing lighthouse that provides expansive views of the surrounding waters. The island is also famous for its traditional dances, and guests are welcome to share their cultures with the welcoming residents.
